Schiff: Democrats will challenge Whitaker's appointment
By Megan Keller - 11/18/18 09:35 AM EST

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif), the likely next chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that Democrats will challenge the appointment of new acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.

"Yes and yes," Schiff told ABC's "This Week" when asked if Democrats would push back against Whitaker's appointment and if he is still concerned that he poses a threat to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling and alleged collusion between Trump's 2016 campaign and Moscow.

"I think the appointment is unconstitutional," Schiff said, adding that Whitaker's appointment has to be subject to Senate confirmation.

"But it's also in conflict with a more specific statute," he said. "There's a succession statute for the Justice Department, which makes it different from other departments."

Sounds to me like Schitt is demanding Rosenswine be fired first.
